The 50 series can return a value within +/- 0.3 deg C, regardless of the thermocouple used. The T type probe though, would have an absolute error of +/- 0.5 deg C, where a type K would be +/- 1.5 deg C.

Couldn't we just calibrate a type K? Could we make/use our own thermocouples?

The different models have various extra features, like logging, dual input (and differential output), etc...
Yeah, my second plan was to buy one of the cheaper ($150ish) Fluke 50-2 series and just use it to calibrate the sound card mod thing OR I was going to get one of those maxim kits pH is using.

My head is killing me today. Damn cold front and rain! Bah, back to work....
